Sunny,

Sorry for the delay, missed this comment. I’d actually look into the K2 Auto Agogo bindings for you with the ease factor, you just have to tighten the ankle strap and the toe strap tightens or look at bindings like Flow, K2 or Roxy that have the quick entry system. What’s your boot size?

Between the 390 boss and contraband, what would you recommend? I’m 5 ft. 7 inches 140 pds. I love it all on the mountain…jibbing (small amounts with switch riding), trees, pushed around powder, icy, hardpack and still be able to lay down some sweet arcs coming into the lift line (oh, and feel safe railing down a Gold Hill chute).
Here’s the rub, I hate messing with my binding every time I get off the chair. My husband has the Rome Targa with the auto strap and it makes it sooooo easy to get in. I’m super lazy and just want to ride! I love the idea of the auto strap. Do either of those bindings that I mentioned have that easy laziness factor?
Thanks in advance,
Sunny

Meg, awesome! When you get them make sure you take the time to adjust them properly to your boot.

Meg, I believe I rode the large’s but I’d see if you can take your boots to the store that has the bandita’s to size them and make sure you pick the right size or if you buy online, go with the bigger and buy from a store with a good return/exchange policy.

Just wondering what size i should get, i ride in 32 Lashed size 8 and DC phase also size 8. The bandita comes in sizes 6-8 or 8-11 i believe. Should i go for the bigger or smaller?

My boyfriend has these webbing. The webbind does not help in any case. In his opinion, it made it worse. The webbing is purely for cosmitic purpose. It is on the wrong side. He end up cutting the webbing. 🙂 The wedgie is cool technology. I bet there are a lot of other companies who is going to come up with this type of footbed next season. I got two pairs of 09 banditas. I don’t need to say more how much I loved them. hahha. It does take a while to install, but once it is dialed, it is awesome. I feared that it will be sloby, but with the wedgie, it works great. My feet has never been that happy without any pressure points.

Martin, sweet you are considering the men’s options. I really want to try the men’s contrabands with the webbing to see how I like that. Bandita’s were a favorite at the demos this year, in fact them vs the auto agogo’s are a hard choice for me.
